Daniel brings succour as NEMA releases relief materials to Ogun flood victims

Following the intervention of a former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba (Engr.) Gbenga Daniel, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has released relief items for distribution to victims and persons recently ravaged by flood in the Remo and Ijebu areas of Ogun East Senatorial District.
Daniel, who currently represents Ogun East in the National Assembly, had moved a motion on the floor of the Senate on July 5, 2023 to draw attention to the plight of the victims, after which a resolution was passed for NEMA to embark on assessment visit to the erosion sites. 
In August, a team of NEMA officials visited and assessed the impact of the ecological damages that occurred in some local governments across Remo and Ijebu areas of the senatorial district. 
However, the agency has now concluded arrangement to distribute relief materials to over 2,000 flood victims already identified.
The relief items include 800 bags of rice (10kg), 800 bags of beans (10kg), 800 bags of garri (10kg), 40 kegs of vegetable oil (20 litres), 80 cartons of seasoning, 800 pieces of nylon mats, 400 pieces of blankets, 800 pieces of wax prints (6 yards) and 800 pieces of guinea brocade (5 yards).
Others are 400 pieces of plastic buckets (21 litres), 800 pieces of women’s wear, 800 pieces of men’s wear, 800 pieces of children’s wear (new), 100 cartons of toilet soaps and 300 bags of cement. 
“The process of distribution shall be communicated in accordance with the list of over 2,000 victims compiled by officials of NEMA assisted by the Ogun East Senatorial office during their visitation,” a statement from the OGD Media Office said on Wednesday.
